Wild About Wallpaper: 25 Cool & Pretty Patterns

Yesterday I sat down to look for a few examples of wallpaper, and things got quickly out of control. Four hours later, I was still poring over websites and wasn't even close to a semblance of a post. With wallpaper's rise in popularity, there are SO MANY great designs and patterns out there (I should know. I just looked at every single one of them) and it was hard to limit myself once I started.

The benefits of wallpaper are many. It adds instant color, helps define your room's style, and introduces dimension beyond the comparative flatness of paint. You can cover an entire room, or limit yourself to one accent wall. You can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want to be.

Settle in, because here is a massive round up of modern wallpapers, organized around some vague trends. I limited myself to cool tones this time around. Because my self-discipline is just legendary.
